Donald Trump Actually Wanted a Black vs. White ApprenticeÂ

On Thursday Buzzfeed’s McKay Coppins reminded everyone about that time Donald Trump thought it would be a good idea to have an entire season of The Apprenticededicated to assessing the superiority of two racially segregated teams ofÂ black and white professionals.

”To be honest, I wasn’t particularly happy with the most recent season. So this time around, I wanted to do the casting myself,” Trump said.

The Republican party’s presidential nominee then proceeded to share that he had recently had ”an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African-Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.”

Last month a group of former Apprentice contestants made headlines when they convened in New York city to speak out against Trump’s presidential bid.

Dr. Randal Pinkett, the only person of color to ever win The Apprentice, was in attendance.

“We acknowledge Donald’s success as a businessman, and genuinely appreciate the opportunity The Apprentice afforded all of us,” said Dr. Pinkett. “We, however, strongly condemn Donald’s campaign of sexism, xenophobia, racism, violence and hate.”
